50 Céntimos Masanasa

Masanasa is a small municipality in the Valencia comarca, and this voucher was issued by its agricultural workers' collective during the anarchist-administered phase of the Spanish Civil War. The Confederación Nacional del Trabajo effectively controlled production and distribution in much of rural Valencia through 1937, and local collectives like this one issued their own scrip precisely because conventional currency had become unreliable for internal exchange — not because of any formal monetary authority, but out of sheer practical necessity.

The Turró and Garí catalogues between them document dozens of Valencian agricultural scrip pieces from this period, but the Masanasa collective's issues remain among the more obscure. Print runs were small and local redemption was the only intended use.
